The SPPf Book Club (NO it is NOT for nerds and girls)

Welocme all, your timing is pleasent, l am elite four lucien, l mean chellochello, and l enjoy reading. l got the idea when thinking of work for an artist on SPPf artist to do when l was in language arts class. I think it will be a nice edition. This wont be like one of theose where l assign a book and you all read it, it will be to share about how much you loved a certain novel and how it impacted you. Even though this wont attract many numbskulls that cant read, there is rules....

Be nice, no "oh, that book sucked" we are all friends here

When you are done a book and would like to submit it to our archives, fill out the form, dont try and recieve it from memory. The form is there for a reason

I dont know if you do it, but in my school we have an AR program, which is called Accelerated Reader, so on the form, where it says how many AR points, put N/A if it is none or you dont have AR

You can talk about books no matter what, if you want to submit it to the archives or not, just talk about it here

Welcome, sorry about the books and ipad, but at least there is books no matter what! Accepted

Favorite Book/Series: I have alot so I can't really name one. I guess Hunger Games.

Why you want to join: Cause books are awesome. I started loving books since last year. It took me a long time to realize books are amazing things. It's original, pure, perfect and helps you become intelligent. Also because so we can discuss books we read in common :3

Also i'm reading Water For Elephants. Amazing book~ They made a movie out of it.

Favorite Book/Series: Percy Jackson and Cirque du Freak. The former because I like Rick Riordan's writing style, and the latter because the plot is superbly awesome. I am SO waiting for The Son of Neptune to come out. :3

Why you want to join: ...Because I'm trying to help this club live? *shot* Maybe I am hoping to discuss about books. Eh. Or to get some motivation to finish the books I'm reading And maybe get suggestions for books I could read.

Current book: ...Lord of The Flies. It's progressing slowly though, because of... college. Yeah. And Rewriting, by Harris. Uh

Hi everyone, I've been thinking if I should get a copy of the Hunger Games because everybody seems to love it but I'd like some more imput on whether or not I should get it.

I read the series earlier this year and let me tell you it did not disappoint. I too had heard a lot of good things about this series and I just had to read it. The first chapter of the first book is really the only 'boring' chapter in the whole series; the rest of the series is fast-paced, exciting and action-packed. You will not regret reading this series, trust me.

Favorite book/series: Warriors series, The Thirteen and a Half Lives of Captain Bluebear

Why you want to join: books are very entertaining, and are an excuse to get off the internet are the next best thing compared to the internet. When I need to take a break, it's reading time. As a matter of fact, I'll do some reading now.

Current book: The Red Pyramid. Yes, I'm quite slow.

Life gives you lemons because a large portion of humanity wasn't thankful for the grapes it already had. Please treat all fruit with respect.

Thank you =D Okay, though I don't think anyone is going to discuss historical or biography books here. XD Still, you never know.

Seconded. Movies usually have shorter scenes from the book. In some cases, Spoiler:

like the Cirque du Freak movie,

the plot was horribly different from the original work it just makes you go ".... What?"

I think we all do. XD Fantasy fictions have much more possibilities to be explored, like, idk, magic, illusion, alternate dimension and stuff, while realistic fiction usually revolves around similar themes.... Murder, theft, kidnap, etc..

IKR. If it's maybe a 100 page book, it would be OK. But like I said, books are original and to me where most of the movies come from today *books*. Also I agree like that movie and Percy Jackson were rip offs. I'm surprised how they're making a 2nd movie of that series..
